The north wind roars, dust and sand swelling, and the scorching sun dyed this endless desert and Gobi in the sky, which looked like waves, waves, and mirror-like autumn water, either connected in pieces or distributed far and near, forming a strange scene of changing movement at the intersection of heaven and earth.

"The wind blows thousands of miles long, blows through Yumen Pass!" The mountain lies ahead, and the mountains are steep, and the clear water flows into the sky, forming a natural pass; Chen Jialuo sang loudly, pointing at the ruins in front of him with a horse whip and saying to Li Yuanzhi, "Mister Yuanzhi, look, that's the Yumen Pass in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Yuanzhi thought to herself, my father has been the general in Anxi Town for many years, and I don’t know how many times this Yumen Pass has come. Why do you say that even though this is the case, a trace of sweetness still surges in his heart, but it turns into melancholy. Oh, it would be great if he was not the head of the Red Flower Society. At that time, he wouldn’t have to worry about it. He wandered around the world with me and went to see if the "Nine Yin Jing" was really hidden behind Mount Zhongnan. I went to Dali, Yunnan to see all kinds of camellias. I don’t know if there was the eighteenth bachelor he mentioned... When we were tired of walking, we would go to the East China Sea to find an island to plant peach blossoms on the island; but if he was not the head of the Red Flower Society, he would be the young master of the Pavilion. I don’t know if his family would dislike me as a martial artist?

"Yuanzhi? Sister Yuanzhi?" Chen Jialuo's shout woke her up from her random thoughts, "Why did your face suddenly turn red? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No...no; maybe it's because it's too hot!" Li Yuanzhi stammered, "Brother Chen, how long will it take for us to arrive in Anxi!"

Your father has been the general of Anxi here for many years. Do you know how far is there? Chen Jialuo knew that she was restless recently, so she did not reveal it. He pressed the horse's back with his right hand, gently landed on the saddle, put his right hand on his eyebrows to block the dazzling sunlight and looked into the distance, and vaguely saw the outline of the city wall, "It's not far away, and another hour will be here!"

When entering Anxi City, the sun was about to set. I walked along the avenue in the city toward the inn. When I passed a restaurant, Chen Jialuo heard a familiar voice coming from the building. It slowed down slightly. The horse took out a chess piece and flipped out gently. Then a young man dressed in a scholar stuck his head out and pointed to a yard across the street quietly. Chen Jialuo nodded and continued to move forward.

After settling everyone down, Chen Jialuo simply used some food, took out a paper fan from his bag, changed into a long robe, and in a blink of an eye he became a handsome and elegant man. He walked out of the inn and walked slowly towards the direction the man pointed just now.

Before he could ask questions when he arrived at the gate of the yard, a gust of fragrant wind blew by, and a soft body leaned into his arms, "Oh, young master, you haven't been here for a long time. I miss you so much!"

"Haha, your eyes are not very good. This is the first time I have been here!" Chen Jialuo knew where this place was looking at the three words "Qunyu Pavilion" above the courtyard gate.

"Oh, young master, then you are here to the right place. The girls here are all good at learning skills, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Come with me and I will find a girl to chat with you!"

Go to you, why are you talking about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when you arrive here? Hurry up and find me a good job! Chen Jialuo suppressed his complaints, pushed away the hand of the silence, took out a ingot of silver and threw it over, "Go to the second floor to find me a window by the window, and call me a quieter girl."

After taking the silver, he showed joy and hurriedly arranged for someone to take Chen Jialuo upstairs. As soon as he arrived at the second floor, he saw Xinyan and a group of young men dressed in the same scholar sitting at a large round table. There were girls sitting next to them. He found a corner to sit down, and soon tea and snacks were delivered one after another. A girl who looked like sixteen or seventeen was taken by Xuzi. "Shuyu is our red apprentice, you like it?"

Chen Jialuo opened the paper fan with a silence and shook it, "Can you play chess?"

Shuyu replied in a soft voice, "I learned some from my master."

"Okay, that's you! Go and get me a set of chess tools!" Chen Jialuo also needs to pay attention to the movements on Xinyan. It is obviously inappropriate to recite poems and sing music, so playing Go would be better.

After the Go was delivered, Chen Jialuo was distracted. While paying attention to the movements on Xinyan, he played chess with Shuyu. He guessed that Xinyan was the host today, and the scholars who came to visit kept flattering.

"Brother Yan, can you have good words today?" a man asked drunk.

Xinyan, who was named Yan Xin, shirked away, but still couldn't resist the group of guys who were making fun of each other. They got up and left the seat, with their left hand behind and held the folding fan and gently knocked their heads. After about half a stick of incense, they slapped their hands, "Are you, please listen to my song "Yu Meiren"? The mirror screen is fragrant and the lotus is recommended, and the flowers are calm. Ask who gets off the horse and looks at the combing hair? It's long and the curtain is high and the curly lying in Qing Qiu. The makeup leaves a new eyebrows, and people's wishes change according to the previous one. A ditch of fat water surrounds the east of the building, and there are a few lines of tears coming and going in red." Xinyan thought of it as the work of Zheng Wenzhuo, one of the four major poets of the late Qing Dynasty. Chen Jialuo's Chinese teacher in the same office is his fan. Chen Jialuo also remembered several songs under the influence of the ink, and gave Xinyan before parting.

"Su Zhuang keeps her new eyebrows! Good words!" As soon as she finished speaking, everyone shouted, and even Shuyu, opposite Chen Jialuo, glanced over.

"Everyone, I'm a little drunk, so I have to go first to make it convenient." Xinyan had already seen Chen Jialuo and took the opportunity to get out of the banquet.

Seeing the opportunity, Chen Jialuo immediately rushed downstairs. The two walked to a secluded corner. Xinyan was about to salute and was stopped by Chen Jialuo. "You are a scholar now, how can you salute someone casually? Tell me how you have prepared during this period?"

"Young Master, my articles have improved a lot recently. I have gone through the way to meet the academic and political education masters in this province. The academic and political education master read my eight-legged article and praised it a few words!" Xin Yan reported.

"Don't relax. The provincial examination is imminent, so there are fewer occasions in this way. If it is passed to the academic government, it may be inconvenient." After saying some things to pay attention to, Chen Jialuo held Xinyan's hand, "If you win the provincial examination, you will go to the capital. Where can there be many minions in Tartars? Be careful in everything!"
